Humanitarian needs are extremely high jn Horn of Afdrica due to the impacts of four consecutive seasons of poor rainfall, an anticipated fifth season of below-average, exceptionally high food prices and disease outbreaks (primarily acute watery diarrhoea/cholera and measles). Approximately 7.8 million people are affected, with over 1.1 million displaced. Food security in Somalia has reached catastrophic levels In Somalia, the sorghum and maize harvest in July was a near-total failure, amounting to just 13-20 percent of the 1995-2021 average; at the same time, at least 5-10 percent of the total livestock.
